Summary
Antoine Michaud is a Staff Software Engineer and Kafka technical referent based in Paris with 12 years of experience designing high-performance, distributed systems. He has moved mission-critical systems—from Java client software for fighter jets to large-scale marketplace catalogs—toward resilient, low-latency architectures using Kafka, Kafka-Streams, Debezium, and cloud-managed MSK. At ManoMano he led topic-merging and migration efforts that replaced bespoke stacks with Kafka-Streams, cutting costs substantially while preserving data integrity under thousands of messages per second. He combines deep systems-level constraints (embedded avionics with strict memory/CPU budgets) with pragmatic API and DevOps practices, routinely delivering sub-6ms endpoints and robust monitoring. A committed educator and communicator, he teaches software design, writes technical articles, and produces shared libraries and guidelines to flatten onboarding and improve team velocity. Notably, his background spans both safety-critical aerospace software and high-throughput e-commerce platforms, giving him an uncommon ability to translate strict reliability requirements into scalable, maintainable solutions.
